    breaking down alu/copper compressors

    probably every one knows this but us newbs. when you come across an alu/cu
    compressor cut the bonet off both ends, the copper and al windings will seperate easily, then take the stator and set it up on two previously stripped stators and use a punch made from a printer rod and punch out the remaining copper sticks , its quick and easy, twice as fast as trying to punch out the copper with one bonet attached. just my .o2
